Cardi B has taken a swipe at arch enemy Nicki Minaj in a new Instagram post for claiming she bought her way into chart success.
The mother of one took to Instagram on Wednesday to hit back at her rival over her claims Cardi bought her way into the charts, insisting 'numbers don't lie' when it comes to her sales figures.
Cardi shared a post showing her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, has the number three spot on 2018's top 10 best selling hip-hop albums, adding the defiant caption: 'NUMBERS DONT F***IN LIE.' [sic]
She also uploaded a video from a 2016 concert and wrote: '7/29/2016! NO LABEL, NO RADIO PLAY, FRESH OUT OF LOVE AND HIP HOP, ONLY 200K IN MY BANK ACCOUNT, MY FIRST TOUR !!!
'Nobody can make you feel like you cheated yourself or you don't deserve to be where you at when you KNOW YOU WORKED YOURSELF TO THE TOP !!! THANK YOU BARDIGANG! YOU BEEN HERE SINCE THE GET GO!' [sic]
Her remarks came after Nicki used her Apple Music Beats 1 show on Monday to slam Cardi and accuse her of building her career on 'sympathy and payola' — the practice of paying radio stations to play a song.
Speaking days after their shocking altercation at a New York Fashion Week party, the Chun-Li hitmaker said of the brawl: 'You knew that when that footage came out, you were about to look dumb.
'So your team, they hurry up and put out a statement. I didn't stop anyone's bags. She had to say that because she has built her career of sympathy and payola.'
